Iby Knill, a Holocaust survivor and author who lives in Leeds, tells Ann Czernik about what Holocaust Memorial Day means<p>I first met Iby Knill last year when I took my daughter to hear her speak about Nazi persecution in a church hall in Leeds. I was immediately transported back to my childhood listening to similar stories in our living room from Jewish refugees with whom we shared our lives in a curious part of Glasgow during the 1960s.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/the-northerner/2013/jan/28/holocaust-memorial-day-iby-knill-leeds">Continue reading...</a>HolocaustLeedsJudaismSecond world warGermanyPolandUK newsMon, 28 Jan 2013 11:03:00 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/world/the-northerner/2013/jan/28/holocaust-memorial-day-iby-knill-leedsPhotograph: VisMediaIby Knill with the bracelet made from her father's gold watch chain.

An eloquent staging of <strong><a href="http://www.anthonyclavane.com/">Anthony Clavane</a></strong>'s award-winning book has much to say about the UK today, and not just Leeds. <strong><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/the-northerner/2011/nov/23/leeds-publishingjohn-lake-mick-mccann-david-peace-anthony-clavane-punk">Mick McCann </a></strong>was at the <a href="http://www.carriageworkstheatre.org/">Carriageworks</a><p>Central to this play is the simple question, how do we fulfil our potential? After we've found love or looked after our kith and kin, filled our bellies and established a safe base, it's the great human question. This <a href="http://www.redladder.co.uk/">Red Ladder Theatre Company</a> production asks the question through two individuals based in Leeds during the 1970s, and as a result asks it of the city itself.</p><p>This review has the potential to go two ways, do the safe, formulaic, parochial, slightly dull name check of the individuals who came together, a (usually kind) appraisal of their contributions and a quick run through the plot, maybe touching fleetingly on a theme or two. After all, it is community theatre in a regional city. </p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk/the-northerner/2012/jun/29/leeds-leedsunited">Continue reading...</a>LeedsLeeds UnitedTheatreAlan BennettSocietyJudaismFri, 29 Jun 2012 10:00:00 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/uk/the-northerner/2012/jun/29/leeds-leedsunitedPhotograph: Carriageworks TheatreThe Promised Land at Leeds Carriageworks Photograph: Carriageworks TheatrePhotograph: Carriageworks TheatreThe Promised Land at Leeds Carriageworks Photograph: Carriageworks TheatreMick Mccann2012-06-29T10:00:00ZFrom the archive, 20 April 1933: Manchester protests against Nazi persecutions of Jewshttps://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/2012/apr/20/archive-1933-manchester-against-nazis
'In the very forefront of the advocacy of abolishing all the ill will that the war had left behind was the Manchester Guardian.'<p>The Manchester meeting of protest against the persecution of the Jewish people in Germany held last night in the Free Trade Hall was one of the largest gatherings in the city under any auspices for many years. The hall was packed long before the speakers took the platform, and half an hour in advance of that time people were being denied admittance. Many inside had to stand. There were several hundred people on the platform, and there were fully 3,000 persons of all clauses of society present when, at the outset, the National Anthem was sung.</p><p>The resolution submitted was as follows:</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/2012/apr/20/archive-1933-manchester-against-nazis">Continue reading...</a>Second world warManchesterJudaismGreater ManchesterFri, 20 Apr 2012 06:30:00 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/2012/apr/20/archive-1933-manchester-against-nazisPhotograph: Keystone/Getty Images'Germans!
